If anyone is interested, this is actually more of a '2.0 update' of a game that was originally released back in 2013. Asmodee Digital seem to have taken over from Bulky Pix and released a massive update to the point where it's essentially a 'new' game now, hence another review.

You can read Kelsey's original article looking at the game as it originally was here. For all intents and purposes though, that version of the game no longer exists, and you can only buy Abalone as it exists now.
